New Ping Tester ?

[David]

Well its easy but how accurate  ? 

You judge

[karvala]

Seems about right on the whole; my interleaved connection (yes, I'm one of the few who actually need it on!) normally shows a ping around that level.  It's nice and pretty, too! 

[Steve]

I end up with 100% packet loss 

[karvala]

Stop showing off your high security!

Your sig = fail.

[somanyholes]

very pretty. I bet a lot of people end up using this. enjoying my jitter lol

[somanyholes]

who's going to give us a b then? Any aol users or tiscali users care to take part?

[Steve]

What ever I do it gives 100% packet loss,the firewall is off, the router is set to respond.I suppose it could be something to do with using Safari on a Mac

[somanyholes]

what do other browsers do?

Opera on a Mac:



Different Java implementation?

[Bill]

I prefer command line anyway, more information and I can make it do what I want it to!

[Steve]

This using FF on Vista however I still get 100% packet loss unless I disable SIP ALG on the DG834N , still no go with Safari/Mac with this option disabled

[Baz]

its all too techie for me 

[Glenn]

[Rik]

I didn't have far to go - but the line is interleaved.

[Glenn]

Just looked out the door, Rik?

[Rik]

Almost.

[Bill]

but the line is interleaved.

So is mine... but this more typical of my ping results:

I don't think I'll be adding that tester to my bookmark list 

[Rik]

I'd always trust a manual test over a site anyday, Bill, I wonder how successful this site will be.

[Steve]

Whether its particular to my setup I have on Snow leopard to disable SIP ALG on the router and use Opera to get a result without packet loss.

[mynnydd]

Happy again, since the ping has got sorted out.

Edit: Markup sorted

Anyone worked out what MOS means?

[Glenn]

What is MOS and how do you calculate it?

The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an indication of the quality of a voice conversation. The MOS ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The MOS is usually a subjective test where listeners rate sound quality. Pingtest.net uses an algorithm based on the three test components to estimate the MOS that would be typically obtained by a connection with these results.

Now why didn't I spot that.  Thanks, Glenn.
